The cashback maths
What you actually save on a typical booking
Worked example: a 5-night dog-boarding stay in New York at $65 per night. The sitter sets the same rate either way. The difference is what each platform stacks on top.
| Typical platforms | Petme | |
|---|---|---|
| Sitter rate (5 nights × $65) | $325 | $325 |
| Pet-owner service fee | $35–$50 | $0 |
| Booking subtotal | $360–$375 | $325 |
| Cashback earned | $0 | −$16 |
| Effective cost | $360–$375 | $309 |
The competitor column is a typical owner-side service fee on platforms that charge one on top of the sitter rate (Rover, Wag and Care.com all publish their current fees on their own sites, and those fees change). Petme charges pet owners 0% and credits up to 5% cashback automatically into your Petme balance.

Protection and cashback
Protection and cashback, automatic
$22,000 Protection Plan on every booking
Every booking on Petme includes up to $22,000 in vet expenses if something happens during the stay. The protection is automatic, has no deductible, and applies whether you book one drop-in visit or a two-week boarding. No claim form to fill out before the vet visit: open a ticket from inside the booking and Petme support coordinates with the clinic.
Automatic cashback, no signup, no opt-in
When a booking completes, up to 5% cashback is credited to your Petme balance straight away. Use the balance toward your next booking, no expiry, no minimum. The more you book, the more comes back.

Local context
Booking a sitter in New York: what to know
Manhattan summers push pavement past 140°F in heat-wave weeks. NYC sitters shift to early-morning and late-evening walks, and many co-ops require elevator pet etiquette and waste bagging on every walk. Daily lunchtime walks are the steady-state booking; demand spikes around Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and the Christmas-to-New-Year window when owners leave the city. Walking volume vastly exceeds boarding.
By neighborhood
Pet sitters in every New York neighborhood
Each New York neighborhood has its own pet-sitter market. Petme covers 41 of them with verified sitters, neighborhood-specific pricing, and the local walking routes your dog already knows.
